| Caribbean Geography Series |
Book details: Karst (limestone) landscapes are readily visible throughout the Caribbean and are significant topological features of many islands and landforms, which include sinkholes, caves, and dry valleys. Emerging underground springs are also characteristic of these landscapes and are important regional water sources. This authoritative, pan-Caribbean work focuses on the interaction between the natural landscape and human activity. Management, conservation, and protection examples and techniques are also discussed.
Illustrated with photographs and maps.
